UPDATE: my 2cents experience
OK Got all the plugs in. Took us about - 3 hrs My neighbor came up with a genus idea, he had thought of something to get those boots left in the sleeve due to them be melted on, I had ruin 3 out of 8 boots more about this later If he hadn't thought of this genus idea we still would be pulling on these boots
What he came up with was a Brass Tube 15/32 10in long or so (not xact) also don't use a tube cutter to cut it, it rounds the edge and it doesn't fit over the plug, but you do need a very straight cut edge to it(rough). this allows to cut it
So here's what happens, when the boot is left in the sleeve spray silicone lub in the boot & on the outside of the tube place the tube in the boot and what it does it will slide right over the plug and down "through" twisting and pushing cutting the melted portion. Dont be surprise that its a little hard to get it down at 1st this is why you need a sharp edge to it and twisting. Once you break through it, you will leave behind the little spring magnet to get it. What we did was to measure/mark from top of the boot just before the end of it, mark it on the tube. I choose to buy new boots(belden) vs using the ones that came out of there. don't hammer it down twisting is key. once out don't forget to use air to spray that silicone out of the plug tube.
Now, you can still use the same boots, once they come out.
So the driver side was easier they pulled off with some resistance but came off with the boot. Took no time
Passenger side was the toughest to pull off as well as the one in back and it seem like those were the ones that were melted
then I looked at the engine and seen on the driver side that there was ton more room for airflow then the passenager side. This might explain the melted boots. I do believe these were not changed @ 30 & 60k
Also if you sign up for napaonlinerewards you get 5.00 for signing up towards those boots
they had belden 10.80 ea.
Ok, I hope this might help, again my 2cents.
Thank you all for the input and help.
